"Fatal Attraction"



The letter was typewritten
IBM Selectric, 
No final salutation

invisible
electric
“VC”
Bleeding Bold Black

A flourish with intent
A nicotine stain

As if in another lifetime 
Han discerned a sound and movement 
Stiffly rose to look about him

Crouching near him in the vessel!
That was now...

Are you important
To me

Morning light shimmers
Floating dust welcome;
Excited salutation


World awakes
Noisy traffic;
Rush of work day

Bamboo trees
Walkway sentinels;
Windy voices hum


Old plumeria tree
Speaks in vivid colours;
Reds, yellows, whites bloom


Lift alarm screaming
Fire drill...

In its intonation, the rising ending signalling hope.
I wonder why? Why...

In the furious face of hunger,
And in the ferocious jaws of sickness

Expressing my love for you,
Or...

charming, with angel wings.

fall around her - weeping. Bullies - dressed
like sisters, tango around her tresses.

Pulling...teasing, stepmother leading.
Ribbons unwound.
